Our complete line of panels, chutes and scales, gates, and feeders are specially designed for safety, durability and flexibility of use. Elite Alpaca Equipment’s all steel construction is lightweight, making it the ideal equipment for temporary, freestanding or permanently attached structures.

Uncompromising Safety

The safety of your animals is Elite Alpaca Equipment’s primary concern. Our entire line of panels, chutes, gates and feeders are specially designed and constructed to eliminate common hazards found in other equipment.

Alpaca heads and feet can easily and quickly become trapped in other panels and gates. Unlike the wider construction of other equipment, Elite Alpaca Equipment panels and gates are more narrowly constructed of 8-gauge, 2-inch x 4-inch wire mesh. This prevents legs from getting caught in pens unlike 4x4 wire mesh of other panels. Our low ground/floor clearance provides the same level of protection as our exterior farm fence by being only 1.5” inches above the ground.

Our 8-gauge 2x4 mesh panels and gates are specially designed to provide these safety benefits:

  • prevents alpacas from accidentally placing their feet and legs outside the panel
  • keeps out predators
  • prevents small, inquisitive cria from poking their heads through panels
  • resists bending better than other equipment because of strong construction
  • resists rust and corrosion due to an industry-leading 7-step electrostatic paint process
  • is less likely to cut an alpaca and is less likely to be abrasive to animals in close quarters
  • allows excellent airflow

Because the mesh extends farther up than other panels, your alpacas are less likely to become trapped between the top bars or gain leverage to move the panels. Your alpacas stay safely inside the containment area, and the possibility of them getting “caught” by the panels -- especially when the panels are not firmly connected to stationary objects -- is eliminated. Plus, with the extended 2x4 mesh, small hands cannot unexpectedly reach in to touch and spook your alpacas.

The low 1.5-inch clearance keeps your alpacas in and dogs and other threats out by preventing the animals from sticking their heads or noses under a panel and raising it.

Dependable Durability

With 18-gauge 13/16-inch-square steel tubing construction, Elite Alpaca Equipment is the most durable panel available on the market today. The special 8-gauge, 2x4 wire mesh helps to reinforce Elite Alpaca Equipment panel, making them stronger, less likely to bend, and warp resistant.

While many panel manufactures use a powder-coat painting process, each component of Elite Alpaca Equipment is processed through a seven-step washing and cleaning, followed by a multi-dip, electrostatic coating. These additional steps allow protective paint to penetrate even the smallest welds and joints, thereby producing a high-quality, extremely durable finish that is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

Lightweight Handling & Flexible, Convenient Use

With its heavier gauge construction material, Elite Alpaca Equipment is amazingly lightweight. For example, men, women and even teenaged alpaca handlers find our 10-foot, 40-pound panels easy to maneuver and manage.

You’ll love the flexibility Elite Alpaca Equipment offers. Every panel, gate, shoot, feeder and scale use compatible connectors. Elite Alpaca Equipment connectors also fit MSA panels, allowing you to custom build your alpaca pens with your existing equipment in the size, shape and function according to As your needs change, you can easily and instantly configure or add panels to enlarge. The portability and ease of handling Elite Alpaca Equipment makes livestock shows and events a breeze!

Elite Alpaca Equipment can help you use your space more efficiently and keep it tidy, too. Because our special extended 2x4 mesh eliminates the opportunity for your alpacas to slip their heads through panels and access anything outside the panels, storing hay, feed and other items close to pens is no longer a problem. If straw or cardboard bedding is used, the lower bottom rail, coupled with the closer wire mesh helps keep the bedding inside the panels and not in the walkways or in adjoining areas.
